    KNOWING you are often kilted

    When I sat down to eat lunch, I noticed something.

    I work doing research and am presently working out of my home (other times, I work out of the main office in Atlanta).
    I don't have a kilt on at the moment (didn't want to wrinkle one). However, when I sat down. I put the plate down and "did the sweep."

    It just STRUCK me. Now that I am kilted much of the time, I did it out of habit.

    COOL!!!!

    If this is the men's department, where are the kilts?

    I am doing my best to leave off trousers forever, but I have done this myself, I must admit. It does speak of the habit though.

    I was cleaning out my closet the other day and found something I could not figure out what they were. Think that they were called trousers or pants or something like that.

    Good feeling isn't it?

    I'll have to admit. I was in loose boxers (doing work research at home-> one BIG advantage of my current job). I put my MacNeil kilt on before I went outside. I wore THAT most of the day. I just don't see getting my kilts all wrinkled sitting around when researching on the computer, though . . .I do often wear my older self-made kilts as "knock-arounds."
    I get to kilt up MOST anytime I want. I just don't get to be kilted when IN the office-> a couple of days every 2 weeks, usually.)

    Being a newbie here, I'm assuming one sweeps the tail of the kilt from under the posterior before sitting down? I suppose that's something I will have to work on.
